There is no other possible reason why they'd remove this post:

It depends on where you posted it. ArmorGames allows you to speak so long as you're not posting random crap and trying not to start anything ugly. If you look at us, America. They virtually do the same thing, like how you're not allowed yelling 'bomb' in a plane if there's no bomb. Or yelling 'fire' when there is no fire.

That's a very bold statement there @twillight2... would you care to elaborate a little as to where, how and when please?

@twillight2 despite our previous dispute about Theism and Atheism, I really don't understand what are you talking about. Where did you post this?

This may be beside the point, but freedom of speech only applies to the government censorship, not private entities such as Armor Games. Armor Games is not part of any branch of the US government.

On the contrary - I think that is exactly the point. We aren't bound by any sort of free speech issues or rulings. Of course, we don't go around deleting post in an arbitrary manner or with some hidden agenda.

Without any context, the post itself could be considered inflammatory. Which means that it's considered trolling. So I stand behind the decision the moderator made to delete the post in question. And if it's something that was posted in the WEPR, I don't see it contributing to the dialogue in any way.

Though, if you'd like to provide some context or any form of argumentation for this claim, do feel free.

I found the comment. It's a game comment and contains an image with a sentence that has a word that would be censored if it was posted as a word and not an image, so that's why it was deleted.

Nice work, Gantic! So twilight is lucky in that he didn't receive a ban for the post, yet makes this thread to complain about its deletion.

I especially like the:

At any rate, this issue seems to be resolved so I see no need to keep the thread open any longer.
